Senior BJP Bihar leader and former deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi died on Monday night, the party said.
Modi, 72, was suffering from cancer.
He died at AIIMS in New Delhi at 9.45 pm, hospital sources said.
“The BJP family is deeply saddened by the news of the demise of former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and former Rajya Sabha MP Shri Sushil Kumar Modi,” the party’s state unit said in a post on X.
This is an irreparable loss for Bihar and the entire BJP family, he said.
Last month, the BJP leader had gone to X to announce that he has been diagnosed with cancer and will not be able to campaign in the Lok Sabha elections.
